Anyone going to TechEd next week in Boston? Let me know if you want to hook up to discuss disaster recovery, fragmentation or anything else to do with the SQL Server storage engine.
I'll be there all week and will be presenting a deep-dive into CHECKDB internals and usage on Wednesday morning (the basis for my whitepaper on the same that should be out sometime this summer)
Thanks

I have the following script that selects tables from my database with the same column name and then I delete data that falls within a specified condition. However what I need to be able to do is just select these tables that meet the condition and then just delete the data because at the moment it's also returning tables that I don't need.
So I just want to use a cursor on a table list that meet the criteria:
1) have qid column name 2) qid >= 5000000 and qid < 1500000000 '
Example
declare @strqry varchar(1000)
declare dailyYear cursor for SELECT TABLE_NAME FROM INFORMATION_SCHEMA.COLUMNS WHERE 'qid' = COLUMN_NAME order by table_name asc open dailyYear fetch next from dailyYear into @DelTable
while @@FETCH_STATUS = 0
begin
Set @strqry = 'Delete from '+@DelTable+' where qid >= 5000000 and qid < 1500000000 '
Is there a quick way to select all the tables in the DB that don't have certain column in the table, so for example getting a list of all tables that don't have columns: A, B or C?
I need to show any values where the variance is negative for 3 or more consequtive jobs. So the rows in bold above would be returned.
I've found something here http://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/ShowPost.aspx?PostID=1022586&SiteID=1 But it's not exactly the same as that returns rows where the dates are consequtive and 2 rows have negative numbers.
Anyone got any suggestions on how to achieve this please?
Hi below sample data incoming from a source that cannot be changed. Please ignore the mishandling of zls. Obviously it is not insurmountable - I am just interested in why it is happening because I cannot explain it.

I am working on a project that was assigned to me that has to do with data in one of our SQL databases. I have the following query that takes information from a single table and averages test scores for each student.
--Group all scores from same student and average them together
with cte_names as ( SELECT StudentID, MAX(StudentName) AS StudentName FROM LDCScores WHERE schoolYear='2014-2015' AND term = 3 GROUP BY StudentID
[code].....
I now need to take the results from the above query and determine the percentage of students, per school that scored a 2 or greater in grade 7 for each test. For grade 8 scored a 2.5 or greater, grade 9 scored a 3 or greater, grade 10 scored a 3 or greater, grade 11 scored a 3.5 or greater, and grade 12 scored a 3.5 or greater.
User's requirement: use the SP get the dataset from DB at once. Want to make an accurate count of paging ( 200 rows /page) at the SSRS side. Need to provide sorting, user just need to click the according column header's caption.
The design is: we add group to devide the data into 200 per unit. Choice 'page break at end'. add 2 Report Parameters, SD & SF, means sorting direction and Field. In the Table Parameters add:
everything seems OK at this time, and the rpt is very quick.
The Bug is: Test team found out the sorting was broken by group, because we Choice 'page break at end'. Noe the sorting scope is just the first page (first group)
Help wants: query DB once , Accurate paging, full scope sorting.
I only want to UniqIds that only have the CODE of ABC... and if it contains ANYTHING other than ABC then It doesnt return that UniqID... Now keep in mind there's multiple different codes.. I'm just looking for a bit of code that drops any ID's that don't have my criteria.
I have a query that returns the data about test cases. Each test case can have multiple bugs associated to it. I would like a query that only returns the test cases that have all their associated bugs status = closed.For instance here is a sample of my data
This doesn't make any sense. I am trying to install SQL Server 2005 on SBS 2003 with Service Pack 1. According to Windows Update, there is nothing left for me to install. However, I am getting this error (while installing SQL Server Express and the Developer Edition):
"Your operating system does not meet Service Pack level requirements for this SQL Server release. Install the Service Pack from the Microsoft Download Center at http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=50380, and then run SQL Server setup again."
When I go to the link, there is nothing there to download (it takes me to the main Microsoft download page). I meet all the requirements that I have found. What gives?
I am trying to upgrade the MSSQL Express with the Advanced Services version. I have:
Mobil Intel Pentium 4-M CPU 2.00 GHz
512 MB or RAM
50.8 GB free space on my C drive I am getting the following message:
- Minimum Hardware Requirement (Warning)

The current system does not meet the minimum hardware requirements for this SQL Server release. For detailed hardware and software requirements, see the readme file or SQL Server Books Online
I have looked at the requirements in the books and it seems that I meet or exceed the minimums.
I am receiving the following error message when attempting to create a new SQL Authenticated login id.
Password validation failed. The password does not meet the requirements of the password filter DLL. (Microsoft SQL Server, Error: 15119)
I have four servers all running SQL Server 2005 SP2 on Windows 2003 Ent. SP1. Of the four servers, only one received the above error message using the same TSQL below.
CREATE LOGIN TEST_LOGIN WITH PASSWORD = 'pvif9dal' MUST_CHANGE, CHECK_EXPIRATION = ON
All four servers are in the same domain, which if I understand correctly, the password policies are therefore inherited at the OS level by the domain. The password being used is within the password policies of the domain.
I tried to install an ALLDATA database which run with SQL Server 2005 express edition. The data base fails to install becase of the following code that come up which is related to AS password requirement. The error that come up is:
