What would happen if I dropped the distribution db?
I'm having problems configuring distribution and after searching, I found someone that claims they solved the same problem by dropping the distribution db. The resolution is the last post on this thread: http://www.ureader.com/msg/11563430.aspx
Is this safe to do? There are currently no publications and the distribution server is not configured.
Thanks
Hi guysWe have a following problem. For security reasons in each table in ourDB we have addition field which is calculated as hash value of allcolumns in particular row.Every time when some field in particular row is changed we create andcall select query from our application to obtain all fields for thisrow and then re-calculate and update the hash value again.Obviously such approach is very ineffective, the alternative is tocreate trigger on update event and then execute stored procedure whichwill re-calculate and update the hash value. The problem with thisapproach is that end user could then change the date in the tables andthen run this store procedure to adjust hash value.We are looking for some solution that could speed up the hash valueupdating without allowing authorized user to do itThanks in advance,Leon
View 6 Replies View RelatedI have a complex select statement that is used in several stored procedures. I decided that instead of having x number of T-SQL scripts with the same exact select statement that I would to put this query into a view and then do a select * from View. Recently an instructor told me that this was a bad idea and that anyone who uses a select * from anything should be fired. When I asked for his reasoning his response was to say the least abnoxious. I can understand why a Select * from Table might be a bad idea as the table definition can change, but the chances of a view changing seems much less likely.
Is a view a good idea in this case? Is the Select * from View really a bad idea?
Thanks
Can anyone tell me if turning on the AUTO_UPDATE_STATISTICS option will have any adverse effects on performance? I've read that it is possible for it to adversely affect performance, because SQL Server “takes a quick break to update database statistics in the middle of the day”. The book does not explain why and I'm always leery of simply accepting something, simply because I’ve read it from a book. This is the first time that I’ve ever heard this and cannot find anything from SQL BOL or any other source.

I have about six different entities that can have zero or more note entities associated with them. The easy way to do this is obviously to have a different "note" table for each of the entities i.e. WorkItemNote, CustomerNote etc.. But I would much rather have a single "note" table since they would all be identical, so I came up with this design:
CREATE TABLE WorkItem
(
WorkItemGuid uniqueidentifier PRIMARY KEY DEFAULT (newid()),
-- rest of table declaration removed for bravity
)
CREATE TABLE Customer
(
CustomerGuid uniqueidentifier PRIMARY KEY DEFAULT (newid()),
-- rest of table declaration removed for bravity
)
CREATE TABLE Note
(
NoteId int IDENTITY(1,1) NOT NULL PRIMARY KEY,
ReferenceGuid uniqueidentifier NOT NULL,
Text ntext NOT NULL,
-- rest of table declaration removed for bravity
)
This way I can get notes associated with a given entity, either Customer or WorkItem, by just selecting from the Note table with its WorkItemGuid or CustomerGuid.
My question is: Is this the best approach to what I am trying to accomplish?
(ps: Apologies if "many to one" is not the right terminology)

Hi,
Today I discovered this command completely by accident and thought that ther are several places which we could use it in our apps.
Talking with a colleague, he is not to sure as it new to him too.
By using this to recover lost identity values, would this have any possible adverse effects on the table, indexes etc.
I can see potential problems when constraints are set between tables/keys. Anyone with any experience using this good and bad would be useful to hear.
Thanks

Hi.I am wondering if it is a good idea to replicate sql server db filesusing frs.I don't really know how the frs works, sodoes frs replicates the whole database from time to time or just theportion that is changed?Also if the db is expected to change very often, and wouldn't it makethe whole system down?I wonder if it's a good idea just to make a backup of the database andcopy it.What's the usual practice?

I am out of my element here but I have someone who is working on a project for me that entails him migrating our Access database to sql. He wants to load the sql software on our exchange server but our IT guy is saying this is not a good idea. Any thoughts???

I am writing a web application that uses a Teradata database as the primary data source. While Teradata is great as a data warehouse and managing Terabytes of information it doesn't do as well when update or inserting. I was thinking of using a local SQL2005 MDF file to hold a few reference tables and an audit table to collect usage information and exception database to capture any errors.
There could be a few thousand users of the web application but no more than a couple hundred at a time.
I just trying to get some opinions on these technique. I am open to all comments and suggestions.
Thank You

i would like to drop a distribution database after disabling both susbscriber and publisher .but i get a message saying distribution database is still in use .and as far as i can tell its there is no one using it .also stopped sql agent but no luck . and when i do select @@ servername i get servername is null how do i correct it .

I have an application that automatically reads a lot of data from a third-party application into my database, via XML. For example, I might read a couple thousand rows-worth of XML data, one row at a time in a foreach loop.
To reduce the load on their server and database, I thought about putting a 2 second delay in between each of my automatic requests. Would this really help much, or is there enough overhead (setting up/tearing down connections, etc) with each request that it wouldn't reduce server load much anyway?
Is 2 seconds enough? Too little or too much?
On SQL Server 2005 SP2 for Publisher and Distributor on the same instance, my old snapshots are not being cleaned up.
The following error is in the agent history:
Executed as user: DomainMyUser. Could not remove directory '\vmsql01ReplDatauncPublication_TRANSACTIONAL20070702104416'. Check the security context of xp_cmdshell and close other processes that may be accessing the directory. [SQLSTATE 42000] (Error 20015). The step failed.
xp_cmdshell is enabled and I can run commands like :
exec master.dbo.xp_cmdshell ' md c:TestFolder'
The permissions to the snapshot share and file system are that DomainMyUser has full control.
I have logged into the machine as this user and can remove snapshots so it does not seem to be a permission issue.
On other machines I do not get any errors but the snapshot folder still is not cleaned up.
Any suggestion as to what the problem could be?
Thanks,
Amy

I am new to the DTS game - or at least to trying to do anything other than transfer rows between databases with identical structures.
I now need to create a far more complex DTS package to transfer data between an SQL Server database (I am using SQL Server 7.0) and an Oracle database. I have no trouble in making the connections and performing simple DTS's beween the two.
However, my current task is more complicated.
Problem 1:
In one database I would store fifty values as 5 five records each containing 10 values (i.e. has ten fields). However, in the other database these fifty values would all be stored as one record (i.e. one row with 50 fields). How could I go about creating a DTS to transfer this information?
Problem 2:
These values should only be transfered if certain conditions are met in an another unrelated table. For example, a flag in another table indicating that transfer of the said values should occur.
Any help with either of these problems would be much appraciated.
Thanks in advance,
Ross

I tried running DBCC checkdb, newalloc,& checktable to fix the probelm and than droping the table and rebuilding it but not success, any suggestion are
more than welcome.
If anybody can suggest the most efficient way to "page" the output from a big and wide table (about 7000000 records) in order to display on the web in the user requested sort order. Sort order could be on at least 7 different columns from 50 of returned.
I need to find a solution to move to the next and previous page.
Any Idea?

what if I took this trigger and based it on a view rather then a table
CREATE TRIGGER TerminationUpdateTrigger ON EmployeeGamingLicense
FOR UPDATE
AS
INSERT INTO TERMINATION(Status,[TM #],LastName, FirstName, [SocialSecurityNumber], DateHired, Title)
SELECT STATUS, [TM#], LASTNAME, FIRSTNAME, [SSN#], HIREDATE, JOBTITLE
FROM Inserted
WHERE STATUS = 'TERMINATED'
CREATE VIEW dbo.Update_Terminations
AS
SELECT STATUS, TM#, LASTNAME, FIRSTNAME, SSN#, HIREDATE,
JOBTITLE
FROM dbo.EmployeeGamingLicense
WHERE (STATUS = N'TERMINATED')
Base the Trigger on this View rather then on the Table itself????
Hi I'm new to sql and it would be great if someone could give some idea on how to do the following
This is the relational model:
Department(DeptNum, Descrip, Instname, DeptName, State, Postcode)
Academic(AcNum, DeptNum, FamName, GiveName, Initials, Title)
Paper(PaNum, Title)
Author(PaNum, AcNum)
Field(FieldNum, ID, Title)
Interest(FieldNum, AcNum, Descrip)
The question is :-
Which academics have the largest number of fields of interests? Return their academic number,
given name, family name, institution and total number of fields they are interested in. Your must use a
subquery in the sense that you must use 2 sql statements and use any of the following to connect both:-
1)Exists
2)Not exists
3)IN
I have a table call CLIENTE and another table call ENDERECO where the CLIENTE table has the FOREIGN KEY of the ENDERECO table.

The instruction was concluded.
I am a "little" lost.

Lets say I have to insert 60,000 or so records into SQL Server from another data source using the sqlTransaction class.
However if at any point an error should occur I would like to roll back any changes.
Would a transaction be a bad idea when dealing with this many records?
Thanks for any advice.

Having no more experience than reading books online, here is an interesting idea I would like to run by you guys and you can let me know if it is feasible or tell me I need to put the crack pipe down...
We are going to increase the number of disks in our SAN, and I was speaking with the SAN administrator and he mentioned the shuffling of logical drives to match the new space. He said he is going to have to go through quite a few combinations/permutations on figuring out the best configuration for what data goes on the old vs. new to get the optimal space.
Is this something that can be modeled out? I can write something that recursively figures it out, but why not explore fun ideas with tools that may be able to do it?
Thank you in advance,
John Hennesey
