Is There A 'Where Column Begins With Whatever' Action In SQL?
Jul 5, 2005
I want to pull up records where the record begins with a letter. I have
a customer table and I want to pull up all customers whose names
BeginWith whatever letter.I was wondering if Sql had anything along
these lines, like:
"Select * From Customers Where Name Begins With A"
I know that is not a function in Sql, but I was wondering if there was
something like that, or if there is a better way to do this.
Thanks!

Hi,
I am trying to backup a database (FULL) and subsequent logs and trying to restore them onto another database. I successfully backed up the FULL database and 6 subsequent logs.
When I tried to restore them onto the target database, the restore of the FULL backup succeeded and the next 4 log restores succeeded.
When I attempted the 5th log restore, I got the following error:
The log in this backup set begins at LSN 22000000035900001, which is too late to apply to the database. An earlier log backup that includes LSN 22000000035000001 can be restored.
Any help on this will be highly appreciated.
Thanks,

I have a client that has a table that after recreating the database from scratch it has a table that can not drop one of the eight indexes. Has anyone seen something like that? What did you do?
Thanks,

Derek writes "I'm totally new to SQL and need some help.
I need to write a query that will return rows where a specific field begins with a selected string.
Example:
My table is called rf_log
I want to see all rows where the PACKSLIP begins with 'ORD000888'
I tried:
Select *
from rf-log
where PACKSLIP like 'ORD000888'
This returns only rows where the packslip is = ORD000888
I need to see all rows where the packslip begins with ORD000888.
So packslip ORD000888-0, ORD000888-1 and ORD000888-2 should also be returned.
Many thanks."

All,
I have a URL Action (defined on cells based on condition specified in MDX) defined in my SSAS 2005 Cube that opens a page in our ASP .Net application.
I use custom MDX statements within SSRS to generate report. Is it possible to expose the above action in a report generated using reporting services ? (in which case I can use the "Jump to URL" feature in SSRS to redirect the user to the appropriate web page) If so, please can you specify how?
Thanks in advance,
Arun

I have the following query:
SELECT tblArticleCategory.ACategoryID, IsNull(ParentCategory, '') + IsNull( ' > ' + ACategoryName, '') AS Category from tblArticlecategory
RIGHT OUTER JOIN (SELECT ACategoryName as ParentCategory, ACategoryID from tblArticleCategory WHERE AParentID is null AND aActive=1) AS Parent
on parent.ACategoryID = tblArticleCategory.AParentID
WHERE tblArticleCategory.AActive=1ORDER BY Category
This produces an ordered list of the parent categories and subcategories from the table as long as there is a subcateogry directly below one of the parent categories. If there isn't one directly below the parent category, the parent category is dropped from the list. None of the parents with the NULLS back to back are in the list.

Hi All,
I have a situation where there are two tables Negotiation and Rubrics. A single negotiation can have N number of Rubrics. Hence it has Primary Key - Foreign Key relationship. Now I am using two different updatable recordset, to make changes from the form.
The problem is with the close button we have in Negotiation Form. For example, a user says create negotiation and fills in d details in the Neg form, and adds several rubric to it (which opens a seperate rubric form). When each rubric is created and comes back to negotiation form, the record is actually updated in the database from the recordset. (Since Rubric is a different recordset).
Now, When i say close from the Negotiation Form. The changes should not be committed or in other words, no changes should be committed, generally its should be rolled back to the original state. Since all the rubric info is already in the database, this is a problem.(hard to track wat all rubrics the negotiation had initially)
I thought of maintaining a transaction in the db, but that wld need a single connection, which is not recommended.
Please suggest us how this can be implemented.
Thanks in advance.

Greetings -
I have a report which contains quite a few parameters for user input. The user wants the parameters arranged in a 'down & over' orientation. This has been done via the parameter order.
The next question is - how do I get the tab action between the parameters changed from the 'over & down' default to the new 'down & over' orientation?
Is this functionality currently supported?

I had a situation over the long weekend where the SQL Server was restarted manually and even though all the SQL Server Services were set to start "Automatically" the SQL Server Agent did not come up. Fortunately most of my batch loads do not use the job scheduler but run by way of DOS batch scripts.
When I went to restart the Service I noticed that in the properties for the Services for all the SQL Server services that in the recovery tab that the First Failure, Second Failure and Subsequent failures were all defaulted to "take no action".
My question is what should they be set to "Restart the Service"? I searched MSDN and the web and didn't find anything on this subject. Is there any harm is setting them all to "Restart the Service"? (we have no OLTP databases only OLAPs in this server).
This leads me to wonder why wouldn't they be defaulted to "Restart the Service".
Thanks,
DaveK

Hello all,
I've run into a situation which I'm not sure which option to use. I have a web-based app that needs to send an email to a user once an auction has ended (the user being the winning bidder). The backend of the app is SQL 2005. I'm trying to figure out how to get this to work but I'm not sure if I should be using Database Mail or if I should be using a windows service on the web server that pings the database to check if the auction has ended and if the user has been notified. Can anyone shed some light as to which way I should be doing this? Additionally, I'm planning on formatting the style of the mail message so it'll need to be in HTML format and not plain text.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Regards,
Axel

Hello
If I have a trigger for INSERT and DELETE, how do I know what action was executed ??
I prefer not to split the trigger to one for each action, because the the procedure for both is almost the same.
Another question, How can I know what records were updated? I need to concatenate the ID/ID's to the SQL in the procedure.
Thanks,
Inon.

I need to define a TRIGGER on a table (temp1) that executes the triggered action for each row of the subject table(temp1) that the triggering SQL modifies. If the triggering SQL operation does not modify any rows, the triggered action is not executed.E.g., If SQL modifies 100 rows, trigger executes 100 times. How can i achieve this type of Trigger in SQL Server .In DB2 i can acheive this by specifying 'FOR EACH ROW' clauseKindly suggest me

Is it possible to use a DMX query as an action in an OLAP cube? So when someone clicked on a product when browsing the cube, it called my DMX query with a product parameter, and the query would return a listing of associated products? I'm not asking how to do the query, I already have that, but just wondering if it's possible to even do that. Thanks!

I have a graph and on the graph I have created an action to go to another chart. My first chart has two parameters. When I click the actions points to go to my second chart I have three parameters. Since my first one has 2 and second one have 3, I keep getting an error "invalid parameter" in the first graph. Can this be corrected. Can I use 2 parameters - pass them to the second then select the third parameter?

Hi
Im in a bit of a pickle due to a large amount of data in a table and the query Im running is taking a very long time, so Id like to get some advice from the guys here to see if it can be done another way.
Ok, so heres the background. I have a table, see desc below, that contains transaction data for a number of users. Each user may have more than one transaction. In each row the SEQUENCENUMBER column is populated with a timestamp for the transaction, so I was using this to get the latest. However there are over 1 million rows in the table and the query below has taken over 12 hours so far to run. Has anyone any ideas on how I can make life a little easier for myself here?
SQL Query
Code:
select user,recipient,sequencenumber from trans_database where user IN (select distinct(user) from trans_database)
order by sequencenumber desc limit 1;
Table Layout
Code:
ID int(10) unsigned (NULL) NO PRI (NULL) auto_increment select,insert,update,references
RECIPIENT varchar(5) latin1_swedish_ci NO select,insert,update,references
DONOR varchar(5) latin1_swedish_ci NO select,insert,update,references
USER varchar(20) latin1_swedish_ci NO select,insert,update,references
UPDATETYPE varchar(10) latin1_swedish_ci NO select,insert,update,references
REPFLAG varchar(1) latin1_swedish_ci NO select,insert,update,references
OPFIELD varchar(20) latin1_swedish_ci NO select,insert,update,references
SEQUENCENUMBER varchar(18) latin1_swedish_ci NO select,insert,update,references
REQUESTDTS varchar(20) latin1_swedish_ci NO select,insert,update,references
PROCESSED varchar(1) latin1_swedish_ci YES (NULL) select,insert,update,references

Hi,
I'm trying to create a custom report item with the action functionality without sucess, in the Process method I create the Action like this:
Action action = Action;
action.SetDrillthroughAction("myreport");
if (imageMapArea.ActionInfo == null)
imageMapArea.ActionInfo = new ActionInfo();
if (imageMapArea.ActionInfo.Actions == null)
imageMapArea.ActionInfo.Actions = new ActionCollection();
imageMapArea.ActionInfo.Actions.Add(action);
m_ImageMap.Add(imageMapArea);
The Action is the property of the interface:
ICustomReportItem
public Action Action
{
get
{
if (m_action == null)
{
m_action = new Action();
return m_action;
}else
return m_action;
}
}
}
When I click in my custom report item I get theses error message: "The source of the report definition has not been specified"
If I change the line:
action.SetDrillthroughAction("myreport");
for this:
action.SetHyperlinkAction(http://www.google.com/);
Every thing works fine. How can I solve this?

Hello All:
I have a web-based utility that enables users to enter data. I have created several SSIS packages that run on a regular basis that act on the data being collected. While the packages run on a set schedule now I would like to provide users the ability to trigger a package on an as-needed basis as well. The question is how do I do it?
I do not know VB.net, and believe that the web app has been coded using ASP.net. I am looking for some high-level pointers to go about my task. Any links to some articles would also be appreciated.
Thank you!

Hi,
I'm using a SQL Server Analysis Services data source.
I have existing reports that I have to modify.
The report preview and layout functions work until I switch to the data tab.
When I switch to the data tab the DATASET GETS BLOWN AWAY!!!!!!
This does not happen with reports using a SQL Server data source.
I have:
copied a report
loaded the original report and switched to the data tab
saved the report
compared the copy to the ruined versionThe only difference is the datasets section
Some version info:
Microsoft Visual Studio 2005; Version 8.0.50727.762 (SP.050727-7600)
SQL Server Reporting Services; Microsoft SQL Server Reporting Services Designers; Version 9.00.1399.00
Why is this happening?
What can I do to prevent SSRS from ruining these reports?
