Nov 30, 2006Please help
We have an application written in MS Access. The tables are linked to a SQL 2000 database.
The problem is that sometimes insert a new record in a table freezes and times out after a while without anything has happened.
When installing the application the *mdb file is copied over to the C drive and an ODBC connection is written to the registry.
The application is used by many in the company.
We have problems on tables defined with IDENTITY columns. Can this be our problem and how can we solve it?

Replicating Tables With An Identity Column Fails Even With Custom Stored Procedure
Mar 28, 1999When replicating a table which has an identity column I get the error: "Procedure cp_insert_tblname expects parameter @C1, which was not supplied.". The stored procedure appears to be called without any parameters so my insert stored procedure does not work. I know I'm missing something basic here!! Do I have to add the field names when telling replication to use a custom stored procedure. If not, how do arguments get passed to my SP, as globals somehow?
Any info greatly appreciated!!

Column Data Truncation , How To Identify Column?
Sep 3, 2007Hi There
This one has bothered me ever since sql server 2000.
When you do an insert into a table with literally hundreds of char or varchar columns and you get the error that the insert failed due to data loss/truncation on a column.
Is there anyway in 2005 to actually find out what column ? Since there are hundreds is is literally a long process of going though each column 1 by 1 manually.
The database engine surely MUST know what column this occurred on so why can it not tell you which column the truncation occurred on ?
Can this be done in 2005 if not will this information be available in 2008 ?
Thanx

Need To Identify Column In Resultset
May 10, 2007Okay, I now have some dynamic SQL working. This is the SQL statement I have for a report in Reporting Services:
DECLARE @SQL nvarchar(4000)
SET @SQL=(SELECT AdHocSQL
FROM RptValueTypeMap
WHERE RptValueTypeMap.SectionCd in ('ITEM0010'))
EXECUTE (@SQL)
We have a table set up that actually holds different SQL statements based on the report items. This is reading the SQL statement from AdHocSQL for the Report item #0010 and it is returning the results. However, it does return the correct value, but under (No Column Name). I have tried to incorporate an "AS", but I get errors when I try this.
I am familiar, but new to SQL statements and I would like this to return a field so I can use this value in the report. What do I need to do?
Thanks for the information.
Trying To Identify A Unique Record On Two Separate Tables
Oct 31, 2007Hello,
I am working with a database that among other things uses multipart keys as the unique indexes which are not consistent from say one table where a parent record resides to another table which contains related child records. For example I am working with two tables right now, one that contains content that I'll call Contents and the other which contains Usage information about the contents (number of view, a rating and comments give by a customer) which I'll call ContentsUsage. The system that manages the data for the tables has a versioning system by which, whn a content item is added (first time) a "unique" id (guid) and a version number of 1 is created along with the rest of data items in the Contents table and likewise in the ContentsUsage table (essentially a one to one mapping) on the like named fields in that table. Now, each time a given record in the Contents table is updated a new version, with the same guid is created in the Contents and ContentsUsage table. So one side I have:ContentGUID > AAAAVersion > 1ContentGUID > AAAAVersion > 2And the other table (ContentsUsage)ContentGUID > AAAAVersion > 1ContentGUID > AAAAVersion > 2
While both of these tables have a quasi-unique record (row_id) of type char and stored as a guid neither obviously are the same in the two tables and having reviewed the database columns for these tables I find that the official unique key's for these tables are different (table 1, Contents combines the ContentGUID and Version) as the composite / mutli-key index, while table ContentsUsage uses the RowGUID as it's unique index.
Contents RowGUID (unique key)ContentGUIDVersionViewsRatingComments................RowGUID ContentGUID (unique key)Version (unique key)Description.....
Bearing this in mind I am unable of course to link directly the two tables by using the just the ContentGUID and have to combine the additional Version to I believe obtain the actual "unique" record in question. The question is in terms of writing queries, what would the most efficient query be? What would be the best way to join the two in a query? And are there any pitfalls with the current design that you can see with the way this database (or specifically these tables are defined)? It's something I inherited, so fire away at will on the critique. Having my druthers I would have designed these tables using a unique key of type int that was autogenerated by the database.
Any advice, thoughts or comments would be helpful.
Thanks,P.

SQL Server 2008 :: Identify Columns And / Or Tables From Records
Mar 3, 2015I'm using MS SQL Server 2008 and I'm trying to figure out if it is possible to identify what tables / columns contain specific records.
In the example below information generated for the end user, so the column headers (Customer ID, Customer, Address, Phone, Email, Account Balance, Currency) are not necessarily the field names from the relevant tables, they are simply more identifiable headers for the user.
Customer ID CustomerAddress Phone Email Account Balance Currency
js0001 John Smith123 Nowhere Street555-123-456 jsmith@nowhere.com-100 USD
jd2345 Jane Doe 61a Down the road087-963258 jdoe@downthe road.com-2108 GBP
mx9999 Mr X Whoknowsville 147-852369 mrx@whoknows.com0 EUR
In reality the column headers may be called eg (CustID, CustName, CustAdr, CustPh, CustMail, CustACBal, Currency).
As I am not the generator of this report, I would like to know whether or not it is possible to identify the field names and / or what tables they exist in, if I were to used the report info to search for it. For example, could I perhaps find out the field name and table for "jd2345" or for "mrx@whoknows.com", because the Customer ID or Email may not be what the actual fields are called.
I'm not a DB admin and I don't have rights to do a stored procedure on the server. I'm guessing what I want is not so simple to do, but is it possible to do via a query?

May 6, 2015we run 2008 std edition (I believe r2 on this server, will double check) and I need to find a needle in a haystack.
I am looking at two tables and would like to learn which, if any objects on same db updates these tables.  I'd even live with any references to these tables. I already know sql agent is out of the picture. I'm looking for a static approach, not a monitoring one because its possible updates don't occur till month end.
Is there a way in sql server to query the answer to such a question using dmvs or something like dmvs?  What if I get bold and want to search all db's on this server for objects that update my two tables even across dbs?
In the mean time, i'll look at scripting all triggers and procs , and doing a search on these table names in the scripts.Â
I don't know that I've ever seen a way to script all triggers before. Procs I can easily script from the object explorer details. But I'm not sure if in explorer details--> server objects --> triggers does what I hope it does.
How To Identify Permissions For SQL Server Tables && Stored Proc. Via VB Code
Jul 20, 2005I'm writing an application using VB 6.0 as the front-end GUI, and theMSDE version of SQL Server as the back-end (it's a program for areally small # of users --- less then 3-4).I'm trying to determine, through the Visual Basic interface, thepermissions of each user that's using the application on his/hermachine.For example, let's say I'm user "Michael" that's sitting down at mymachine using the app. I've written. The security for logging intoSQL Server will be setup using Windows Security (Trusted Connection)as opposed to Windows & SQL Server security. When Michael accesses aparticular form in the VB 6.0 GUI, I want to run some code thatautomatically checks Michael's permission levels on the underlyingtable (actually, a stored procedure supplying the data from the table)that supplies the data to the form he's looking at and then give himsome feedback on the form as to what type of permissions he has whilehe's browsing through the data shown in the form.For example, Michael opens a particular form, code in the backgroundis run to identify that this is Michael accessing the form, the codereturns a value that identifies what type of permissions he has on thedata in the form, and a text box on the form informs Michael (forexample) that he only has read-only permissions to the data he isviewing and cannot edit any of the data.As another example, user Karen sits down at her computer, logs intothe application, opens the same form that Michael just opened, thecode is run in VB to detect the level of permissions she has on thedata being displayed in the form, and the text box on the form informsher that she has editing permissions on the data in the underlyingtable.Etc...If anyone can post an example of the code they use in accomplishingthis task in an application they've written, I'd really appreciate apoint in the right direction or a real-world example that's beenimplemented by one of you. I've written several apps. thus far usingMSDE as the back-end, but the previous apps. I've written were forclients that didn't care about restricting access to theapplication... everyone could pretty much use the application as theydesired and do anything they desired to the data.The current client I'm writing the app. mentioned here for wants tohave security in place to where various users access the applicationwith various levels of permissions to do stuff (or *not* do stuff) tothe data in the application.Thanks very much in advance for any assistance / code provided!Sincerely,Brad McCollumJoin Bytes!

View 2 Replies View RelatedHow To Use Identity On Non-identity Column (with Concurrence)
Aug 1, 2014I'm working with a third-party database (SQL Server 2005) and the problem here is the following:
- There are a bunch of ETL processes that needs to insert rows on a table (let's call this table T) and at the same time, an ERP (owner of T) is up and running (reading, updating and inserting on T).
- The PK of T is an Integer.
Today all ETL processes uses (select max(ID) + 1 from T) to insert new rows, so just picture the scenario. It is a mess! Everyday they get duplicate key error when 2 or more concurrent processes are trying to insert a row (with the max) at the same time.
Considering that I can't change the PK, what is the best approach to solve this problem?
To sum up:
* I need to have processes in parallel inserting on T
* I can't change anything on T
* The PK is NOT an Identity
