I'm getting a "Input string was not in a correct format." when I'm running a insert statement against my SQL Server 2005 db table. This helps me zilch as I cant see the actual SQL statement to see which one wasnt right. Using a SQLDatasource and a Formview btw.
Datasource is called xSqlIB and formview is called fmvIB.
Any ideas?
I have a view in SQLServer 2005. It took 30 sec. to finish. Then I deleted 4500 records from one table that is used in view. It took 90 sec. to finish now. I did a comparison on Actual Execution Plan between before I deleted data and after I deleted data, they are almost same, only different is Actual Number Rows become less after deleted data. So, I wonder why data become less but time become more. When I look closely on the Actual Execution Plan, the ridiculous thing is, there are only Estimated Operation Cost on each step, no Actual Operation Cost. I guess there are something wrong with optimizer because reuse same Execution Plan, but how can I tell which step wrong without Actual Operation Cost.
Thanks!

Hi All,
I have a XL source file, the first column contains the name, 199001,19902.....,199012,
In SSIS package using XL source if click the 1st column contains headings it automatically covert my heading as name,F2,F3.....F13.
But i need as it is like Name,199001,19902,.....,199012 as a heading than i am using unpivot transformation and convert the column into row to my staging table.
Please sort out my problem i need the XL column like i mentioned above( Name,199001,19902,.....,199012 )
Thanks in advance
Thanks,

Hi Guys
I pick up the following in a profiler trace.
exec
sp_cursorexecute 197, @P1 output, @P2 output, @P3 output, @P4 output,
'PSRF_REPORTING_FOLDERS', 'Jan 1 1900 12:00:00:000AM'
Normally to find the actual sql that executes i go up in the trace until i find the relevant cursor prepare. In this case the one for 197 cursor prepare.
But this time around i cannot find it, these are app servers connected so for all i know the cursor could be prepared at 5am in the morning and re-used all day long.
Is there anyway (adding certain profiler events or something), so that i can see the actual statement held in the cursor ?
Thanx
Hi,
How do I check what is the actual DB size that is currently being use?
e.g. I set 10 GB as initial size. A few days and a few transactions later, how can I know how much was used since it is still under 10GB and checking the physical DB file will not tell me anything.
Hello
I am running 6.5 sql and work with a traffic and billing software ( called NOvar) from another company(encoda system) which does a lot of scheduling, reporting etc

I know I have had this before, but I can't remember what I did to fix it.I have a field that is varchar. I need to count the numbers up.
Example
Claim Count

When I do my query
Select Distinct count([Claim]) from Table
It comes up with 2.How do I have it recognize that I need the actual number count? I need it to be 43.

I have a stored procedure that will execute with less than 1,000 reads onetime (with a specified set of parameters), then with a different set ofparameters the procedure executes with close to 500,000 reads (according toProfiler).In comparing the execution plans, they are the same, except for the actualand estimated number of rows. When the proc runs with parameters that producereads that are less than 1,000 the actual and estimated number of rows equal1. When the proc runs with parameters that produce reads are near 500,000 theactual rows are approximately 85,000 and the estimated rows equal 1.Then I run:DBCC DROPCLEANBUFFERSDBCC FREEPROCCACHEIf I then reverse the order of execution by executing the procedure thatinitially executes with close to 500,000 reads first, the reads drop to lessthan 2,000. The execution plan shows the acutual number of rows equal to 1,and the estimated rows equal to 2.27. Then when I run the procedure thatinitially executed with less than 1,000 reads, it continues to run at lessthan 1,000 reads, and the actual number of rows is equal to 1 and theestimated rows equal to 2.27. When run in this order, there is consistency inthe actual and estimated number of rows and the reads for both executionswith differing parameters are within reason.Do I need to run DBCC DROPCLEANBUFFERS and DBCC FREEPROCCACHE on productionand then ensure that the procedure that ran close to 500,000 reads is runfirst to ensure the proper plan, as well as using a KEEP PLAN option? Or,what other options might you recommend?I am running SQL 2000 SP4.--Message posted via SQLMonster.comhttp://www.sqlmonster.com/Uwe/Forum...eneral/200609/1

Hi Everybody,
I like to compute the actual physical database file size using queries.
From the EM database properties, the file size shown is not matching with the master..sysaltfiles.size
Ex. Actual file size is 12MB and 1MB for MDF & LDF respectively.
'sysaltfiles' shows 1464 & 96 resp. Since they are shoing it as 8K Pages,
96*8 = 768KB is not matching with 1024KB for the LDF file.
Is there any overheads (additional space from the physical file for file headers) allocated?
Thanks

how can I get the execution time in millisecond of an MDX query in SSAS?For sql we can get it by:
Code:
set statistics time on
--query----
set statistics time off.But I am not getting anything for MDX.
I am using 6.5 and on this i used different program
and people execute query
Can i place a trace to show what query is being executed from which program and at what time
Meaning the syntax of it and by whom
I start tracing and it paging file becomes to large

Everyone know that in MSSQL, the precision of datetime is currently limited to 1/300th of a second. My question is, is there any way to store the actual millisecond in the a table?

Need to know the actual size on the tape drive
I€™m using LTO3 tape drive (400GB) the used media is for LTO2, currently I€™m looking for LTO4(1.6TB) but I need the backward compatibility to support LTO3 tapes so I can go for LTO2 media or LTO3 media.
I need to know the size of the database backup (Ms SQL2005 SP1 x64-bit, on Ms Windows 2003 R2 x64-bit) on the tape drive. I can see the backup size of the database but not the size on the tape which is using hardware compression.
Is there a way or a tool to view that.
Sql Server has many data types.
For Example:
smallint
Integer data from -2^15 (-32,768) through 2^15 - 1 (32,767). Storage size is 2 bytes.
I want to know that
If it contains like 0 or 100 or 1000 or -200 or -2000 or more or less.
What will its actual size?
2 bytes or change with the value.
Please also mention the reference with your answer. if available.
Hello fellow .net developers,
In a website I'm working on I need to be able to put all of the user tables in a database in a dropdownlist.
Another dropdownlist then will autopopulate itself with the names of all the columns from the table selected in the first dropdownlist.
So, what I need to know is: is there a sql statement that can return this type of information?
Example:
Table Names in Database: Customers, Suppliers
Columns in Customers Table: Name, Phone, Email, Address
I click on the word "Customers" in the first dropdownlist.
I then see the words "Name", "Phone", "Email", "Address" in the second dropdownlist.
I'm sure you all know this (but I'll say it anyways): I could hardcode this stuff in my code behind file, but that would be really annoying and if the table structure changes I would have to revise my code on the webpage. So any ideas on how to do this the right way would be really cool.
Thanks in advance,
Robert
Hi,
I used to use a insert subselect on the 6.5 catalog table
Hi all,
I have a problem during the bulk insertion. SQL truncated each line of the file.
The format file is:
9.0
1
1 SQLCHAR 0 8000 "
" 1 if1 ""
Table:
CREATE TABLE #if1 (
[if1] [varchar] (8000) NULL
)
Query:
SET @sqlstr = 'BULK INSERT #if1 FROM ''' + @inputfilepath + '.if1'' WITH (FORMATFILE = ''' + @ifformat + '.fmt1'')'
EXEC(@SQLSTR)
Everything is fine. The only problem is the lines are truncated.
Any ideas?

View 9 Replies View RelatedI have gone through the table partitioning in MSDN, like Designing Partitions to Manage Subsets of Data . But how to do this in actual world, since some db need to partition for 7 days, then archive these days records on the 8th day, while other prefer 14 days/monthly, and run this repetitively for many years? If this is running weekly, how can i generate the scheme and function dynamically? What if ID for row count is not viable?
Sure this will not work:
Code Snippet
CREATE PARTITION FUNCTION [TransactionRangePF1] (datetime)

'10/04/2004', '10/05/2004', '10/06/2004', '10/07/2004');
GO
Then how to drop partition periodically?
Hi,
In a dataflow, I've an OLE DB source before a script component.
When I link the Red Output of the source to the script component, I want to get the COLUMN NAME (which is the source of error), instead of the default ErrorColumn (LineageID). I'm not able to succeed with the following code snippet.
My code is something like this:
Dim temp_Int_EmpID As Microsoft.SqlServer.Dts.Pipeline.Wrapper.IDTSInputColumn90
temp_Int_EmpID = Microsoft.SqlServer.Dts.Pipeline.Wrapper.IDTSInputColumnCollection90.GetInputColumnByLineageID(Row.ErrorColumn)
Pls. let me know if it's possible to achieve what I require & if so, how.
Kindly reply at the earliest !

Having a SQL Server 2012 Enterprise (x64) on a Windows 2012 R2. We need to know, a reliable way, the number of processor sql server is using at a give time. We already know how many total processor are available to sql by getting info from sys.dm_os_sys_info.
For instance, a server has 40 processors, we want to know how many of those are being used at a given time. Since the load on the server may not be that high, we would like to know how many processors we can eliminate and the load will still be unaffected.
After watching the server performance for a while, we are predicting we may only need 16. But we would like to get some statistics before we reduce it to this number.
STEP1:
CREATE TABLE Trace(Statement VARCHAR(MAX))
INSERT INTO TraceÂ
VALUES('select * from Account'),('select * from Account') ,('Select LastUpdated,Lastdeleted,LastInserted  from History'),
('Insert into Account  Select lastUpdated from History'),('Delete from OldAccount where LastUpdatedId=3'),('Delete from OldAccount where LastDeletedId=3'),('Delete from OldAccount where LastInserted=3'),('DROP TABLE BMP')
[code]....
now,when i run step3 ; i wanted to see if there is actually a delete or insert or select or update happens but as i used like %% (matching characters) i am getting all names matching with the % % , example row 7 in above is there a way i can use any wildcards and only find if there is actual delete, actual insert, actual select, actual update statement happening.
I want to update a record that has a datetime field in it. But what if there is no parameter given for that field, i.e. what is the correct type/value to pass as parameter?
Example: A DOB field for a user profile, but the user doesn't enter his birthday
This is some example code that I use to update:
Private Sub UpdateDOB(ByVal dob As Date)
Dim parameters As SqlParameter() = { _
New SqlParameter("@Birthday", SqlDbType.DateTime, 8)}
parameters(0).Value = dob
'Run Stored Procedure
This gives me the exception "SqlDateTime overflow. Must be between 1/1/1753 12:00:00 AM and 12/31/9999 11:59:59 PM" when I don't pass a valid date. I tried passing Nothing but same error (in this case it convert dob to "#12:00:00 AM#")
The only thing I can think of is to use Date.MaxValue and then check in application logic, but there must be a better way!

is there a way in t-sql to pass a db name as a parameter, so that select * from [@passedDB].[dbo].[tableName] would work? Without dynamically building and executing the sql statement?
View 1 Replies View RelatedSomeone claimed that the query:
INSERT INTO [table1] SELECT * FROM [table1]
was a result of running DBCC DBREINDEX.I wasn't able to replicate this when I did a trace on my local machine, but SQL Monitor from Red-Gate shows that query happening for at least some of the tables that are being reindexed via a job. Is there anyway to examine the actual code inside DBREINDEX to see exactly what commands it may execute?
